'Burn Notice' recap: Left hanging 'til January

There are some shows that I am glad to see the season finale of…Burn Notice IS NOT ONE OF THEM! I love this show so much! I was not disappointed with Thurdays episode, at all. I’m really looking forward to the winter episodes!

The show needs to start focusing more on the Carla thing and less on the side jobs, especially with two (three) parters and season finales. Just for a while because I want to know more about the conspiracy thing. I think we all do. Being fed li’l tidbits is making me crazy.
The show is so full of great advice like “If you want to lose a tail it’s not necessary to drive fast. It’s more important to drive stupid. Signal left and turn right. Make sudden lane changes. To be successful, it’s sometimes necessary to do what the other guy isn’t willing to. And, of course, it’s all so much easier when you’re Mother’s not in the car with you.”

Jonesing for more Fiona, The Spy Helper? Rent “If Looks Could Kill” next time you’re at the movie store – enjoyably cheeseball James Bond parody featuring a younger Gabrielle Anwar.

I adore Michael. I am very suspicious of Campbell. Fiona needs to kill Carla, even though I doubt Carla was the one who tried to blow up Michael. Sam rocks my world. Nate is an irritant. Fiona and Michael do NOT need to get back together. I also wonder what his little speech in front of Fiona (to Lesher) meant. Her eyes were tearing up… Anyway LOVE THIS SHOW. Can’t wait for January.

Looks like I’m in the minority here, but I think Carla did kill Bill the Sniper and tried to kill Michael. Once she realized that Michael figured out what her plan was, she shifted to Plan B which involves the mysterious stranger she let Michael and Co. see at the meeting. I think we’ve found out from Michael that spys always have a Plan B. She had already set her clean-up plan in motion. Call Bill the Sniper back to meet his doom and force Michael to retrieve his key card, which he more than likely hid in his loft, leading him to his demise. I think Carla was hoping Michael killed himself sliding under the truck because that way his death wouldn’t arouse as much suspicion as two men being blown to bits a few hours apart. I think the next series of episodes will focus on Michael and Co. trying to figure out how to stop Carla from completing her mission, helping his Mom and Nate, and finding the people behind Carla.

Do we really think that these world class operatives (Michael, Fiona, Sam)
would let people come into there lives without checking them out. They would always be suspicious of everyone and anything circumstancial. Michael would have Sam check out Campbell the first time he showed up.
Fiona would eliminate Carla figuring an organization with plans for Michael would just send someone else as a contact.
Michael would send Nate and Madeleine
into hiding until the burn notice was resolved, not based on the weekly job.
As for continuing plot, nothing is what it seems. So after Michael finds out who burned him, he’ll be back to being a spy, but with personal enemies inside his own agency. We’ll learn that who he thinks burned him isn’t who really who burned him.

Big disapointment. ‘Hate when I watch something all season and then when it ends for the time being (I don’t care if it is a “break”) NOTHING is resovled. Grrrr… ‘Not sure I’m going to play that game with them again when it comes back on in January.
